Figure 2. Abundant protein depletion improves identification of unique proteins. Protein group identification profiles for normal human plasma samples which were (a) not depleted, or depleted using the HSA/Immunoglobulin (b) and Top14 (c) depletion resins, are shown. All samples were reduced/alkylated and digested with trypsin. Samples were analyzed by LC-MS on an Orbitrap Fusion Tribrid mass spectrometer over a 60 minute gradient using 750 ng of sample per injection (performed in triplicate). Raw files were searched against a human protein database using Thermo Scientific Proteome Discoverer 1.4 software. Non-redundant protein group identification numbers are reported for each sample type.
Figure 3. Comparison of the cleavage selectivity of MS-grade trypsin products. Five-protein mixture samples (10 μg) were digested with Pierce Trypsin Protease or Promega Trypsin Gold for 3 hr and analyzed by LC-MS using a Velos Pro Mass Spectrometer. Data analysis was performed using a Mascot search engine with “no enzyme” digestion settings. Greater than 95% cleavage selectivity for lysine and arginine (K/R) was observed for Pierce Trypsin Protease.
Figure 4. Peptide recovery of native peptides at various loads using the Pierce Peptide Desalting Spin Columns. Digested HeLa extracts (5–5,000 μg) were loaded onto Pierce Peptide Desalting Spin Columns and processed according to the protocol. Total recovered desalted peptides were estimated using the Pierce Quantitative Colorimetric Peptide Assay.
